    Well I was at junction of 4111/4112 at 11.00 and Talgarth at 11.30 but nobody turned up so off I went to Crossgates. So many bikes there I gave up looking for Barney. This 'Internet Dating' ain't all it's cracked up to be is it.

    Crossgates Today.

    Nicko do you wear a bright helmet ? If you do then yes me and Steve was there. I got to the car park just before 11am. Steve got there about quarter past and a HRC blade rode past about 25 past 11.

    As said we where going to meet in the car park not the junction on my second post. only blade we spotted was this HRC with a chap with a bright helmet on. We were there from 11 until about 12:30 after a good chat

    Nice meeting you Steve

    Yep we were there and as Mat said someone with a very bright (looked like a Swann match) helmet came by on a HRC. It was very nice to met you also Mat - great to put a face to a forum member especially a moderator LOL.

    Bummer, Yes that was me in the 'Dog's Knob' Hi-Viz hat. Where is the car park? I had a look in the Rugby Club car park then sat on that island 'till 11.30 then took off for Rhyader/Crossgates/Malven. Sorry I missed you but I had a great day anyway. Just be sweating now for the nxt couple of weeks every time a buff envelope drops on the mat.:eek: Maybe next time eh? Riding with a fast group is gr8 fun an there was 'blades everywhere yesterday. Can you point out on the map exactly where the car park is so I know where I went wrong?
    ATB, Nick.

    Yep that was me mate. Sorry I missed you. Probly the white boots scarred you off. Bit 'poncy' I know, and not the best for safety but I like em and they match me bike. lol. First time I've worn em. They're Lonsdale boxing boots and, cos as a result of a biking prang, i've only got 50% mobility in my gear-leaver side ankle I thort I'd try em to see if they gave more feel. Let us know next time you at the 'gates mate and we'll def meet up.

    TA DAA...THE BOOTS!

    You have missed so much. And why I spend most of my riding time over there. I've done many of the stunning roads from aberystwyth to the black mountins and then down.

    All very good roads. and some just amazing
